The MIS text is a little confusing.  The "UC Base" is a base that, I
believe, has no binder in it.  It can be used as a base, but if I'm correct
that it has no binder, I'm not sure how much of it you'd want with the MIS
pigments, which do need a binder -- unlike the coated Epson pigments that
use their coating to stick them onto the paper.  Additionally, the UC base
has, I believe, poor reflective artifact characteristics -- read bronzing.
Note also that one of the cleaning fluids MIS sells is more dilute than the
base and has a viscosity that is too low to be used as a dilution base.

The bottom line is that I would not use "UC base" for an LK to LLK dilution,
particularly if I were going to do any glossy printing.  I may, in fact, use
this base for my LC to LLC dilution in my 7500 because it's only 50%
dilution, little of the LLC ink is used, and I do mostly matte paper
printing with the 7500.  You might be best off just buying the MIS LLK.

Additionally, I don't think you need to run cleaning carts if you're
switching from UT7 to these MIS inks.
